[PS3] Demon's Souls - So the world might be mended. So the world might be mended. So the wo

Picking this one up today and preparing to cry like the little girl that I am.....

Dead or Alive meets Contra meets Ninja Gaiden. Ugh.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I couldn't figure out where to get anything other than warrior-ish gear (I'm a Priest) so I held on to my 10,000 souls in the phalanx area with the dragon. Fucking dogs. One hits you and then if another one does, you're dead. They knock you back and forth.

So I'm in the second area with nothing. Where the shit do I get spells and whats with the girl telling me to go up the stairs and talk to the statue? Where the hell do I go? I went all the way to the top.

Also angst at the spear guy in the first area worth 2000 souls. I died like 12 times to him until I got him to walk off a ledge....

So I lost my 10k and said fuck it. Accidentally used the soul of the phalanx beast (no clue if I should have kept it). Buying gear sucks because the different gear had no stat differences. I cant buy spells or make use of the wand i got. I can't SELL any items...

I find a message saying "Its safe here" and walk on the bridge only to get mowed down by the dragon. I can't USE most of the weapons I get because I'm a fucking priest!

AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH! FUCKBALLS! At least I got the Deluxe and yes, I'll be playing again tomorrow. Fuck.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Soul Level 28 and I'm through the first two stages in World 1 and through the first in World 2. Fuck world 3 and its magic. About to go to 2-2 and try the (what I assume) fire boss.

The hell with those slugs. Is there an easy way to kill them?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Okay fuck this shit. The Flame Lurker has eaten up 7 of my Ephemeral Stones now. My WT is fucked and I can't even take out 25% of his HP. He stunlocks me and then AoE, stunlock, AoE, stunlock, AoE.

Whats worse is that Water Veil and the Purple Flame Shield don't actually give fire resist...

My magic and intel are at like 12 apiece..I guess I'm off to farm skeletons for 30 hours so I can afford higher spell damage to...maybe kill him.

Maybe.

Seriously this boss is unfair beyond belief.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Also, using Ephemeral stones as revives and HP boosters is missing the point of the stones, unless you're using them to look for and gather blue phantoms. And if you managed to get even one, the boss would drop quick.

If you have 12 magic, you can learn a spell, at least. Let him roll toward you, hit your shield, and then roll the fuck away, even if you have no remaining stamina and have to do it between small rests to regain some. Don't magic him unless he's in the middle of his punch animation. Use Soul Arrow or something.

I'd help but I doubt you're in the range of soul level 50, so.

My magic is high enough for two spells. When he rolls towards me, he slashes, knocking me down regardless of what I do...then he does the AoE. That usually is enough to kill me, sometimes the first hit alone.

Is it worth the use of a summon on him? I don't want the summon to be a one hit kill as well. I'll try again after work tonight but with my stats I SHOULD be able to take him on....should be.

Additional Spam:
Lost 40k farming for skeletons. Tried to get to 4-2 and died before even being able to hit the fat boss there...

Best I could do is target him and shoot a few arrows. Going to ground level was even more laughable....I got up to 40k just from trying to GET to that point. FML.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've got tons of Cloudstone, actually.

I should be playing most of the day today. I talked to a customer yesterday who says to just summon a player for the Flame Lurker. I was under the impression that the blue were even more uncommon than the Ephemeral, plus I didn't know how effective the summon would be. I'll give it a shot and maybe dick around with it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well crap. Someone needs to drop one in front of the Flame Lurker then....I waited around for like an hour this morning.

FELIPE NO

Motherfuckers. Got him. I ditched some items and wore two fire resist rings....and tanked him without tanking any damage.

Ugh.

Dragon.....I worked on summons. I understand how it works.

Ended up dying, aiding someone on the lurker, getting 7500 souls. Spending souls, going for dragon since it brings me back alive.

Summon, have failure partners. Finish it myself: Success.

I'm tempted to find a group that we can farm the bosses with...wished some of them knew how to take on the dragon god. Even at a partial rate, the souls are worth it.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Dear Grim Reapers in 4-2:

I fucking love you.

PS: No seriously, 6,000 souls just 1 minute into the stage? Hell yes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The manta are bastards and harder to hit than the regular ones. I'm light WT there...helped a guy go through and take down the boss. Getting a good feel for it, but how do you try to take on the LAZER CHARGIN guys?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well I've got a strat down, but basically head-on just is going to hurt?

The first area with those, I get the first guy as he goes up the stairs. From that point you can hit the reaper below.

Soul level is 65 now, so I'm working my way up...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
